1. Yes
2. Yea
3. Yes go to Pet smart they have doggie pads. Or even Wal-MArt
4. Yes, but to be honest they don't work. When my parents were breeding our shih-tzus, we bought primi diapers and cut a hole for the tail in them. The dog will get it off, and spot. If their heat is a problem, I suggest having them spayed. No more menstral cycle!
5. Yes there are. You can get them at a pet supply store. Be careful with them though. They can breed bacteria and fungus leading to infections if the area stays moist. If you use them, change them very often.
6. I have seen diapers but not pads for dogs.
7. yes they are called fancy pants and you can get them at pet stores
8. There sure is, try pet smart, or other pet store.
9. Yes. They are called puppy pads, and are available at any pet store. Just ask for puppy pads. They come in all sizes. More absorbent than the regular brand.
10. www.drsfosterandsmith.com You should be able to find them there.
11. Yes
12. Most defintely. You buy a belt type apparatus and the special pad slips into place. Be sure to take it off when she goes outside to do her business. Check your local pet supply store. The brand we use is Four Paws sanitary pads
13. yes they do....but its gross....i think its worse...my friend was sitting for her brothers dog and she had to go change her like 2 or 3 times a day and its a hassle....but they do have them....petsmart...wal mart...etc...
14. yes go to pets smart and ask for puppie pads.
15. I have never heard of dogs having periods! Just humans.................
16. Yes. Your dog will probably hate it, but I just went through 10 days of hell with my dog. It's definitely worth saving your carpet, rugs, couch, car, and clothes. Plus, it makes your dog look really cute! Have fun!
17. yes most pet stores sell them.
18. Yes there are-but you have to be careful what you get. I purchased a "pad" assembly for my female 55 lb lab/pit, and it looked like something a dominatrix would wear-not to mention it didn't fit well and looked like it was cutting off circulation. What I found worked best is buying some regular (human) child diapers, size dependent on the size of your dog, and cutting out a hole for the tail (about 1/2" down from the top edge seemed to work best for me)-and don't forget to cut the leg holes a bit longer at the top because that has the potential to be too tight as well.
19. yes
20. Go to petco or petsmart....walmart may even have them
21. yes
22. Yup, most pet supply stores have em. I know at petsmart, it costs about 15 bucks for a package of dog diapers. It's more cost effecient in the long run to just spay your dog =)
